That is sweet of you, Mistress Hot Pants. Of course I’ve always known, considering your heart is so spacious.

[ so insufferable actually ]

I am, too. Did you wish to speak of someone in particular?

[fleshedout]

Ugh.

[Don't say it like THAT.]

I-I don't know.

[Just name a certain person and she'll probably talk about them.]

[disestablishment]

... What about whom you'd call your best friend?

[ Aymeric thinks this shouldn't be hard? Hot Pants wears the big pants. ]

[fleshedout]

....

[A bit flummoxed?]

I have...several? Maybe? It's hard to choose...

[disestablishment]

[ A laugh. ]

Our Mistress Hot Pants is quite popular.

[fleshedout]

[SHE IS GOING TO PUT THIS CAKE IN YOUR FACE]

Stop, no, it's...I just have...several people in mind, okay...

[disestablishment]

[ HE WILL BEHAVE. ]

Then choose one that comes naturally to you. Or you can name them all in whatever order you wish.

[fleshedout]

[mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Um. November. Garou. Itsuki. Buzen. Kazunari. Kashuu. Maybe. But I...like a lot of other people too...oh, and, uh, Jiuqing. No order.

[disestablishment]

[ me: they're all men
also me: this game has too much testosterone ]

That is a very good list, Mistress Hot Pants. [ But this has him curious: ] Did you not have anyone on your star?

[fleshedout]

[GO TELL BRITT THAT JIUQING IS A GUY NOW, HEI]

...No. I had colleagues, but no friends. The job didn't allow for much else.

[disestablishment]

[ SHE WAS LISTED LAST AFTER MORE WORDS ]

An adventurer whose duties shut away connection... 'Tis good you got a chance here to make friends, then. A fulfilling journey.

[ Thinks. ]

What of love?

[fleshedout]

[MAYBE THERE WAS A REASON...]

Yes, I agree.

[About the friends part, but then...she frowns.]

What about love?

[disestablishment]

[ whispers crystal is this a crush...... su pants.... mi pants is su pants? ]

Have you found it here?

[fleshedout]

........

[She's turning red?]

Have you?

[disestablishment]

[ To be honest, he was never going to hide it. ]

Aye. I realized that I may have held feelings for Estinien for some years.

[fleshedout]

Oh.

[Not surprising, really. Though this makes everything that happened.....:(]

Good for you two.

[disestablishment]

Thank you. We were comfortable.

[ But. He hasn't forgotten. ]

Your face was beet red.

[fleshedout]

...

[>8IIIIIIIIIII]

It's...nothing.

[disestablishment]

You know I wouldn't tell a soul.

[ He hasn't even told anyone about her GREENHOUSE. ]

[fleshedout]

[she looks like she's going to die]

There are...a few. Perhaps. But it's....it won't work out...

[disestablishment]

[ Aymeric, thinking: it must be one person
Aymeric, now:

Before he even asks why she thinks it won't work out, let's start with the who. ]

And they are?

[fleshedout]

Jiuqing, I...confessed to. But she said she doesn't see me that way.

[...]

And...Roxana, but...I'm not sure that's...anything. Probably for the best. I can't be in relationships.

[disestablishment]

Mistress Su Jiuqing does seem the type to focus on her duties first and foremost as well. I am glad you were able to tell her of your feelings. 'Tis nice... To get it off of your chest, knowing you did what you could, and not have to wonder what could have been.

Mistress Roxana is also a good choice. [ ... ] Truthfully, I believe you are very lovable, Mistress Hot Pants, and any woman would be honored to have you.

It could be these two are not the one, or it isn't the time.

[fleshedout]

Yeah. I'm glad I could just...say it. Even if it didn't result in anything.

[She seems a bit somber.]

...I don't think it ever will be the time. Like I said. I've disavowed myself from things like that.

[disestablishment]

[ ohhh.... sadge, but Aymeric gets taking an oath. ]

Part of your duty? Like clergy.
